Wheel of the Year
Celebrate the Sabbats!
A creation of Dryad Design. Depicting the eight Pagan holidays or Sabbats, the Wheel of the
Year is laid out as a traditional wooden wheel. Each pie-shaped section is a carved
representation of a particular holiday. The Quarters: Yule, Ostara, Midsummer (Litha) and Mabon
focus mainly on the movement of the sun and contain alchemical symbols for the seasons. Each of
the Cross Quarters: Samhain, Imbolg, Beltane, Lughnasadh feature one of the four tools and
portrays the transition of our relationship to the Earth as the year progresses. Zodiac signs
depict the movements of the stars throughout the year and illustrate how they relate to the
holidays.

Merry Meet at Midsummer,
Litha is one of the eight solar holidays or Sabbats observed by Wiccans, though the New Forest
traditions (those referred to as British Traditional Wicca) tend to use the traditional name
Midsummer. It is celebrated on the Summer Solstice, or close to it. The holiday is considered
the turning point at which summer reaches its height and the sun shines longest. Among the
Wiccan Sabbats, Midsummer is preceded by Beltane, and followed by Lughnasadh or Lammas.
The Litha Sabbat is a time to celebrate both work and leisure, it is a time for children and
childlike play. It is a time to celebrate the ending of the waxing year and the beginning of
the waning year, in preparation for the harvest to come. Midsummer is a time to absorb the
Sun's warming rays and it is another fertility Sabbat, not only for humans, but also for crops
and animals. Wiccans consider the Goddess to be heavy with pregnancy from the mating at Beltane
- honor is given to Her. The Sun God is celebrated as the Sun is at its peak in the sky and we
celebrate His approaching fatherhood - honor is also given to Him. The faeries abound at this
time and it is customary to leave offerings - such as food or herbs - for them in the
evening.
